Comments : One of my favorite Constellation projects ! This was a warm-up show for for their show at ATP UK curated by Godspeed, their first in 7 years. A very nice turnout tonight and a very nice show, including their amazing cover of "Blue Monday", not requested by me for once. I really hope this evening will make them want to play again together in the future.

Comments : Probably the most hyped show of the fall. The show where everyone had to be. We still managed to secure our usual front row spots. I have to confess the second Grinderman album did not have as much impact on me as the first one, but Nick Cave is still Nick Cave so I can not be 100% partial about this one. A very nice show as expected, although definitely less exciting than a Bad Seeds one.

Comments : I should probably have skipped writing anything about this show and let it slip away from my memory, but tonight I feel like I have to write something about it. A solo theremin set opening for Grinderman ? Well, that could have been interesting if it had lasted half of the actual set time and if the performer did not have the great idea of using pre-recorded music to play to (think 80's keyboard muzak). The setlist included great hits like Ave Maria, but the cherry on the cake was the theme from the Godfather, the very next day after the actual godfather of the Montreal mob Nicolo Rizutto got shot...

Comments : Tonight's show confirmed my previous impressions from ATP. As much as I like their albums, The Black Angels are definitely not the greatest band on stage. Nothing bad per se, but nothing memorable either. The guest sitar player on the last 3 songs added something nice to the show but it was not enough to save the show for me.
